Srkaj nahlas, je to slušné
In Japan, slurping your noodles loudly is not rude, it is a sign that you are enjoying the meal.

Na mnohých miestach je hlasné srkanie jedla neslušné. V Japonsku je srkanie pri rezancoch naopak zdvorilé.
Má to svoje dobré dôvody. Pri srkaní vťahuješ spolu s rezancami aj vzduch, čo rýchlo ochladí horúci vývar. Zároveň sa ti do nosa dostane viac vône a chuti, podobne ako keď ľudia ovoňajú víno pred ochutnaním. Hlasné srkanie dokonca kuchárovi prezradí, že ti jedlo chutí.
Zvyk vznikol dávno, keď boli rezance rýchlym pouličným jedlom a ľudia jedli narýchlo postojačky. Keď budeš nabudúce niekde takto jesť rezance, skús to aj ty. Trocha hluku tu nie je nevychovanosť. Je to kompliment.
That's the story.
